To all fwtom t may convent:

v Be it known that we, J oHN A. ALEXAN'DER and FRANK K. BERRY, citizens of the Unlted States of America, residing at Battle. Creek,

. In the drawings, Figure l is a side eleva-l tion of the range, partly in section; Fig. 2 is a front elevation thereof, part-ly in section; and Fig. 3 is a cross section through` the oven. Fig. 4i-is a longitudinal, vertical section of theurange. j

In Vthe construction of gas ranges, 1t is usual to provide an open top section having one or. more burners and their gas connections, lbel'i'eath which is arranged a drip or dust pan T removable for the purpose vof cleaning." With the present construction the mainframeof the range is arranged substantiallyin the'pl'ane'of. this drip or dust pan but is extended beyond the area ofthe open top :and'also forms a support for the oven. Thus as shown, A is the'rectangularv main frame which is supported upon legs.B arranged at the corners thereof. Y

C is the open top or vgrid frame support Aabove the main frame, D4 are -the"burners,

and E the gas connections therefor.

F is the oven arranged on an extension of i theframe A, having its bottom substantially v-in the plane of said frame and extending up therefrom the desired height.-

' As shown, an oven G is superposed upon the oven F and the'two ovens are arranged above the frame with a burner H at the top ofthe .lower oven operating for both, and

also constituting the broiler and toaster.

By the-arrangement just described, the

ovens ,as well as the open top are arranged' at a height which is convenient'for' access, while the frame A forms a common supporting base 'for both larranged substantially in the plane of the drip pan. The lower oven'-l F ,hasit's frontfn'lclined rearward so that the'door. l in `closed .positionis inclined as showm This provides a'. longer4 base for -thelower .ovef'w'nile the upper oven is of .sulcientcapacity for .moet uses.. The

upper oven is provided wi'tha liningJ with surrounding hot air flues and adoor K hinged at the side.l .The lower-oven is fur-v ther provided with 'a-burner L at its base.

M is a hood arranged above the open top section adjacent to the ovens F and G. vThis hood is preferably flush with the top of the upper oven G and forms avflue connectionv between said oven and the chimney pipe..

-Thus as shown, the side of the oven adjacent -to vthis hood is provided with apertures N a portion passing'through the apertures N.- under the hood and thence into the chimney Hue Q, and another portionpassing through the rear apertures O and ue P into the chimney Hue Q. j As has vbeen stated a burner L is arranged beneathl the lower oven F. The purpose of this is not to heat theoven chamber but for use in cooking food where it is desirable to prevent the escape of odors into theroom.

Thus by placing the boiling or cooking uten- -sil within the oven F the odors instead of escaping into the room will be drawn .into a flue R `which connects this oven with the chimney flue Q.

The burner L does not interfere .With the space within the oven F as it is arranged below the same, and to protect the burner therebeneath. .What We claim as our invention is:

1. In a 4gas range, the combination with an open top section, of an oven arranged at one a detachable pan or housing S is arranged .end thereof, a hood above said open top section adjacent to said oven, a chimney flue connection to said hood, and said oven having a flue discharging into said hoodand 'connectedthereby with said chimneypilue connection." j

2. In a gas range, the comblnatlon .with an open top section, of an oven arranged at one 'end of said section, a hood above said openv top section abutting against said oven,

said oven having. iiues discharging atthev A sidey intosaid hood and alsov discharging in the rear, a laterally extending flue covering the rear discharge, and a chimney Hue con-l nected with said laterally extending flue and also with said hood.

f5 3. In a gas range, the combination with an at the side adjacent said hood opening into the latter and connected thereby Vwith the chimney flue.

In testimony whereof We aiix our signatures in presence of two Witnesses.-
